Many beginners, and even some experienced stitchers, shy away from pattern stitchery thinking it requires more expertise than they possess. Even in teaching beginners, I always start them with pattern stitches rather than with the basic small stitches. When they see how easily they can create smashing effects, they are well on their way to becoming needlepoint "addicts. If you arent convinced that you can work dramatic patterns, just try working the Byzantine stitch shown on the accompanying chart. The lines and squares of the chart represent the canvas ribs and holes. The bold, black lines denote the actual stitches. To follow this and most other needlepoint stitch charts, your threaded needle is brought up in holes and taken down in holes. Of course, the holes of your canvas are not actually numbered, but once you get started it will be a simple matter to follow the chart. Follow Example In this example, bring your needle up in the fourth hole down from the upper left corner of your canvas. This hole will correspond to the space marked "1 on the chart. You then cross diagonally over three canvas ribs (or threads) and take the needle down in the hole corresponding to space 2. Notice that this happens to be the fourth hole along the top edge. Since all other stitches are the same length, you should have to do very little counting from this point on. Simply follow the stitch progression from 3 to 16 to establish the pattern. After you have completed one "zig-za- g row from the upper left edge to the lower right edge, change to another color and work the rows on either side of it. Use Longer Stitches In this example, the stitches are worked over two holes and three ribs. (bust 34) suit requires 3 yards fabric. Please send $3.50 for each pattern 45-in- Byzantine Stitch It can just as easily be worked with longer stitches covering more of the canvas with each stitch. This is often a case of the more the merrier as your stitching goes that much faster with the longer stitches. Also, the stitches in this sample chart change direction after every fourth stitch, but you can easily work more stitches on the same line before changihg direction. There are really so many variations that you can work a new version almost any time you select this stitch.

When you fall in love, your body produces phenylethylamine, the same chemical reaction that occurs naturally in chocolate, according to the publication. ' Thats why lovers have traditionally gorged themselves on chocolate after a broken love affair because it simulates the same euphoric feelings as being in love, the magazine says.
